Rain in Queensland's Gulf of Carpentaria in recent weeks, and more falls associated with ex-tropical Cyclone Dylan, may mean a better barramundi fishing season this year.

The season opens at midday tomorrow, and fisherman are hoping for an improvement on last year's catch, which was down an estimated 40 per cent due to the failed wet season.

Chairman of the Gulf of Carpentaria Commercial Fishermans Association, Gary Ward, says the current wet season is promising.

"Last year was an absolute shocker, we don't even want to talk about it, but we're just hopeful that at the moment that the low pressure system goes around Richmond and places like that to flush the rivers, all the rivers, right out."
